Will the order of returns affect Media Spin?

[anti-bush]

South Carolina polls close at 7pm EST . An Edwards win here will give him an hour of coverage before other returns start coming in.

Then Delaware, Missouri, Oklahoma, and North Dakota close at 8pm EST. Kerry should win DE, MO, and ND and Oklahoma is likely to be a barnburner. An Edwards or Kerry win in Oklahoma could give spin to either Kerry or Edwards. A Clark win in Oklahoma could diffuse much of Kerry's spin, as it is likely to be the most hotly contested and thus most covered.

Then Arizona and New Mexico close at 9pm EST. These might get lost behind the earlier returns.
